- Head phones on for this one! Really cool to be right next to the engine and
hear the beautiful harmonious sounds of the engine ramping up and down.
Will also show you the electrical cards that are the "electrical controlling stations"
on the locomotive's power control system. These cards are neat to see
and probably something no one has ever saw before, unless you would
be a loco mechanic or electrician.
Train is at the prep plant loading the cars with coal, here at Cumberland Mine
prep plant located near Kirby Pa. #22 locomotive has just had some serious
engine work done to it by and our contract mechanics and she sounds
great!
Listen to the sounds of our SD 40-2 as it is loading the cars and compare the differences.
The SD40-2 is turbo charged and the SD 38-2 is not:

The sounds of a powerful engine is so satisfying, I can almost hear Jeremy Clarkson yelling about ultimate SPEED and POWER.
Doesn't get much more better than this Arkay, at least for a RR
lover's point of view. Always a pleasure to have you visit with us
and hear from you my friend. Thanks for stopping by tonight.
Jeremy knows speed, but the boy does not know power.
I could never be left alone in that cab. I'd be too busy playing with the lights, bell and whistle. 😮
Glad you enjoyed Earl, it's hard not to just touch stuff when in there...LOL Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
EMDs of that era sounded so amazing, love those
Glad you enjoyed Tony. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
That looks like standard 1980's electronics, you know, the kind that can actually be fixed!
designed in the late60's, first use was in the UP DDA40X, became standard in all EMD locos in 1972.
Very well could be much older than that Jim. These cards can
be repaired, when a new one comes in the old one gets sent back. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
I worked on a couple of tug boats on St. Thomas usvi. One boat had a single EMD running a quart nozzle with an 11 foot prop. 2100 hp. The other had two EMDs 2400hp each. Sometimes I would just stand between those big EMDs and watch the drive shafts as the tug was maneuvering a ship or barge. The power and sound was just magical. Especially when they would go from idle to full power and back to idle in about a minute. The whole tug would shudder. Really miss those old tugs.
Thanks for the nice comment, I've been on a few river tugs and can relate to what you're saying, it's an awesome experience. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
I worked several years with a scenic railroad that had an ex-GTW GP9-R ... essentially a GP9 rebuilt with GP38 innards, so the exact same powerplant (more or less) that's in this video. Incredible locomotive - that thing climbed hills like a billy goat.
Those absolutely classic EMD sounds just cannot be beat.
Glad you enjoyed and thanks for the nice comment. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
When I worked repair and return for a class 1 in Chicago I got to know one of the gentleman who worked on the EMD engineering team that developed all of them modules. He later started a company in Burr Ridge IL. that did rebuilds on those modules. The fellow was a genius at electrical engineering.
Awesome John! You would have to be an electrical genius to figure
all that out, but those guys did it. Loco don't run very good without them! LOL Thank you for taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
I always notice when these RR components have tags showing that they were built somewhere in the Chicagoland area. I think I’ve seen some of the stuff from Burr Ridge company too. Can’t remember the name of it right now
@@ellisjackson336 The name of the company was TrainTronix. The electrical engineer who I spoke of in my original post left EMD to form the company.
I always wanted a 1 foot to 12 inch scale model railroad like Dave’s!
Known as a 1/12th model 😂
I want the 4ft 8.5 inch one lol
@@grec9177 park a loco in the front yard and see what the HOA says......
@@rearspeaker6364 Already have a bay window caboose in back so would even up the yard somewhat lol thank god I dont have HOA Im out in the sticks
Thanks for the nice comment DogRedful. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Awesome. I was an Enginemam in the Navy. Spent a lot of time down in the engine room on tug boats and loved the sound of those engines "working" Thanks Dave
Glad you enjoyed Donnie, lot's of old boats had these EMD engines in
them back then, I have no clue what they put in them now, it's
been 118 years since I worked on the river, I would imagine Cat's
rule the day now but that's a guess. Even better sound that what
I did was to be in the engine room on a boat! Thanks for writing in
and for watching my friend.
There's a channel called TimBatSea that shows mostly a New York harbor tug at work on bunker barges.
those cards are what brought EMD to be at the top from the 1970's thru the mid 80's- modular electronics! if it goes bad, just get another one, then send loco out.
LOL, yep then send loco out, I liked that rearspeaker. You made me laugh tonight. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
If this is work, WOW, I'd love it. I am older now and I've been a rail fan since I was a little girl. My dad got me my first train set. Then many years later, I married a Model Railroader guy and I've loved trains to this very day. Thank you so much for showing these magnificent videos.
Glad you enjoyed Marti. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
What a cool video, Dave. Absolutely love the "throb" of a second-generation EMD powering up (and at idle speed). Your closer with your wonderful smile was "letter-perfect". Thanks so much for sharing...🤗👍👍👏
Glad you enjoyed ebf. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
I was working in a large steel factory in Austria last summer, sometimes emptying train cars my whole shift. I've always enjoyed the sound of the big diesel locomotives. Mostly, they were V12s, but they still had older ones with V8s, which sounded really cool. I'm working at the blow furnace this summer, but I'm sure I'm gonna hear them regularly.
Tanks for the nice comment DJ. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Nothing beats the sounds of the EMD normally aspirated SD38-2s.
Glad you enjoyed Dan, you are right. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
Your very welcome. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend. Wish for you the best in your channel adventure.
Fifty plus years ago, just after Burlington Northern was formed, I worked as a brakeman out of Balmer Yard in Seattle. There were still a lot of EMD F-units in service at that time, along with a whole assortment of newer units as well. How fondly I remember that unique, complex "whine" they made, and I vividly recall the differences in tone as the units unloaded to make the circuit transitions. Absolutely music from heaven to these old ears, Dave, and yes, the earphones put me in the cab once again. Sincerely, thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed Norman and it brought back fond memories. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
I cranked it up through my stereo. Sounded great!
Glad you enjoyed the sounds MusicByWinston. Bout the only thing better sounding is a steam loco under load. Thank you so much for the nice comment and for taking the time to watch the sd 38-2 ramping up video my friend.
Hey dave keep the videos coming. We are working hard dealing with washouts and building new track from all the flooding up here .
Wish I could come and give you a helping hand but they need me here. You keep on railroading greenmountain, never give up despite
the adversity. Thanks for watching and I'm pulling for you my friend.
@ccrx6700 we got it. Had 3 of our lines go down with major washout one had our tracks hanging 100 feet up we got all but half one one line back up with freight rolling and by the end of this week we will be rebuilding track on the last 2 big washouts but man the hours. I've put in 171 hours in 2 weeks got a great bunch of raliroaders just getting it done .
@@greenmountainhuntingclub8310 "getting it done" - yes! Too many young people have no clue how to do it.
We all know that the *SD* in the SD38-2 stands for *Super Dave*. Thanks for the card view. Like you said, it’s amazing how someone can build such a thing. Any electronic circuit amazes me. 👍🏻
Your welcome and thank you for the nice comment Bassotronics, but EMD didn't quite hear of me when they came out with the SD series....:-) Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's
video my friend.
Amazing small nowadays, that one could almost be worked on by a technician with leather gloves on, while todays printed circuit boards need a magnifying lens or microscope.
"Special Duty", but Super Dave works too.
@@SteamCrane 😊👍
As always, thanks for the great video.
Love you Dave
. Thanks for showing us a side of railroading that the would never see.
Thank you doboy for the very nice comment. We appreciate your
dropping in on us and taking in tonight's presentation my friend.
Your very welcome MrSeanboy, glad you could take the time to
stop by and check out tonight's show my friend.
The kind of engine you can feel in your bones. Thanks for sharing!
Yes sir KerboOnYT, if you let it that rhythmic noise can get into your
soul. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Love hearing the train engine rev up a beautiful sound
Pleased to hear you enjoyed this Richard. Appreciate your taking the
time to watch and write in my friend.
Back in the pre Canadian National days it was always an experience to watch and listen to DM&IR or EJ&E SD38s as that exhaust just spoke strength. United States Steel had very high maintenance standards for their units. Not always the easiest to find I did enjoy pacing some C&IM units as they guided a coal train at dusk thru farm fields pushing the fireflies aside. A great experience. Thanks for the surround sound today!
Glad you enjoyed and it brought back memories Paul . Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Yes sir! I grew up in Dyer,IN, very close to the J and those were they only locomotives I ever really saw as a young kid until I was old enough to drive and start seeing different areas. US steel was very exclusive with their rails so foriegn power was rare. One of the afternoon/ evening locals, probably Griffith, used to hold the main and park light power right by the crossing and take beans at the local pizza joint. The sound was so amazing. Then as fate would have it I worked there for a bit. The old J birds will always be my favorite
@@mattberg916 Short of unit coal trains foreign power on the J was very rare. I was still happily amazed to see a coal train arriving in Waukegan with four GM&O GP30s I a Commonwealth Edison unit train. Back in the late 70s when the Milwaukee Road was sinking quickly old as they were those faded non rebuilt Mesabi SD9\18 carried them until warmer weather. What's so sad is it's been almost 2 years since I've seen a freight car marked EJ&E most seem to be Gary Railways now. Here's to those 600s and the tonnage they could tote!
@@paulbergen9114 seems like the J is all but covered over. If you're still in the area do you still see any of the 700s? I occasionally see a 600 unit still in orange paint down around Gary and Markham yard areas
@@mattberg916 the 700s can still.be found on occasion on the 2 locals out of Waukesha or the local serving Waupaca WI and on rare occasion yard Duty in Stevens Point. Ive seen video of varied SD38s working in the yard in Waterloo IA with frequency. Funny how I remember the daily cuts of the 4000 series gons with coill steel for a.o. Smith in Milwaukee and it was a just-in-time delivery to be there by 8 a.m. and was virtually the hottest train on the main in Milwaukee. I also remember American Can Company and Continental Can Company in Milwaukee get the 50 foot box cars with the old belt emblem and painted green and orange loaded with tinplate
I can't imagine how much force must be applied to the track when the engine's wheels slip on the rails.
I don't know either Roman, but it's often enough to burn the rails.
Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
What sweet music.
Glad you enjoyed John. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Another fantastic train video from the perspective of a professional. Thanks for the insight, Dave! Keep 'em comin' :)
Professional? Like the 3 Stooges said when someone said gentleman, they said who came in? LOL But thank you John for the
kind words and for joining in with us for tonight's presentation my friend.

I played this in the workshop through my speakers the woofer was jumping up and down what a beautiful sound ,who needs an orchestra when you’ve got an EMD awesome Dave thank you very much .
Glad you enjoyed Lawrie, perfect shop music. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
NICE! Even better would be listening to 3 of those pulling a loaded coal train up the 1.7% grade of Petersburg Illinois. But, that was in the 1970s, the 6 C&IM SD38-2s were sold to U.P. in the early 1980s, had their crankcases filled with concrete, and became hump yard slugs 😔.
Thanks! Had to look that up. Extra weight for traction & not having any fuel or lube or cooling fluids.
Glad you enjoyed Paul. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
@@ccrx6700 there were other Springfield Illinois railroads that had 2nd generation EMD SD units, Illinois Central had SD-40s(dash 2s as well), and one group had extended range fuel tanks that enabled them to go from Chicago to New Orleans without stopping to refuel, only for crew changes. I.C. also had one (only) SD-45. Illinois Terminal had 6 SD-39s, (the turbo version of the SD-38s). Norfolk and Western had oodles of SD-40s and SD45s, all with the high short hood, and they were configured to run long hood forward, (steam engine style), for collision protection. And lastly, the GM&O had their share of SD-40s, with their #950 being the prototype of all those legions of SD units that followed, and its now residing at the Monticello Railway Museum (Illinois), in servicable condition! I didnt include the B&O RR, because their sketchy track wasnt able to support the weight of any SD unit, let alone the F units and GPs. All those roads i mentioned eventually had their shares of dash-2 units, and the only ones left are now under different ownership, while the B&O and IT have been turned into their former roadbeds/bike 'n' hike trails. (A portion of the N&W/Wabash/NS bike'n'hike trail uses the roadbed of the Northern Cross, the first railroad in Illinois!)
@paulsmith5398 thank you for sharing that Paul 👍😊
That’s cool, thank you for sharing the slow ride… thank you to your company for letting you video the ride
Glad you enjoyed Bill. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
Sounds like you got to love it when they put modern technology and tired iron that's probably definitely above my pay grade
Certainly above mine also Kevin! :-) Thank you for taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
Great sound on another great video. As a retired electronic technician I always really enjoy seeing the circuit boards and other electronics involved in keeping the trains running. Have a great day my friend.
Glad you enjoyed Lewis. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
That EMD sound just CAN’T be beat!!
You are right in that whatdoidonext. It is a great sound, much better
than the sound of a GE loco, or at least I think so. But I am also
partial to EMD locos. Very grateful my friend for your taking the time
to visit with us and check out the magnificent sounds of an SD 38-2 video.
That's wild. All of that rigamarole only to find out it's--of all things--a radio piece in a new fire supression system. I mean, SHEESH! Go figure, huh?
One of our operators figured it out, they still haven't fixed it yet. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
I'd call that alarm module, simple rugged well engineered design for a rough service environment.
Interesting thanks Dave it's nice to see high quality made in America.
You are right Mack and thanks for the nice comment. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
I remember sometimes when the train was full and we would stand sometimes in the old ping pong vestibule you would hear that Glorious EMD prime mover I'd be half deaf by the time I got off at my station XD but is was worth it
Thanks for the nice comment William, great memories of the past Im
sure. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.

DANG. I probably saw that Loco when it was brand new all the time. Spent a lot of time at Alcoa/ Warrick. Yankeetown serviced the plant back in the Day. I hauled millions of pounds of aluminum in and out of the plant. Used to see those SDs all the time. I guess Yankeetown is gone. But a new railroad is in place. Great Video. Keep Up the Great Work. Stay Safe out There 🇺🇸
I think NS has the old Yankeetown trackage, or at least rights to it Charles. Yes you probably did see 22 back then and that was it's
number with YD. It was white back then. Appreciate your taking the time to watch today's video my friend.
It absolutely was painted white when it was brand new. Along with 2 or 3 of its Brothers. It has been hauling coal most of its life. ! 🇺🇸👍👍

Very awesome video Dave! So jealous... You truly love your job. My wife says I need to get into railroading since I love it so much.... But I've been a desk jockey my entire working career. Not sure that I'd keep up with the vets in the industry at 42 years old. Can still dream I suppose. Happy railroading to you!
Glad you enjoyed and yes trainmann, go for it. How are you going to feel when you hit retirement and say wow I wish I would have done that. Someday is today. They have desk jobs in RR too if you want that. I totally agree with Mrs. Trainmann. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
It amazes me that such large and powerful machines can move all that tonnage at such a slow and precise speed like that! And yes, I realize the diesels are simply generators for the electric trucks that actually turn the wheels, but it's still amazing!
Glad you enjoyed and yes wallyman it is amazing. Railroading is amazing. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.

I LOVE that Diesel Sound ! I grew up as a kid on a railroad right across the road from our old farm house.

Your railroad is isolated from the rest of the rail system. Correct? I am curious how your six-axle EMDs got to the railroad and how they were loaded and unloaded for service there. I love your videos. Some of my favorite stuff on the whole internet. Really! Thanks for making these videos.
That is correct. Everything was trucked in from an NS siding about
7 miles away. Got to my channel home page, click on Community Tab,

Dave you had another really good video this evening I really enjoyed it . Dave I'll rotate my hard hats when I'm working in my recycling plant .
Thank you Mike, glad you enjoyed. Appreciate your taking the time

WOW what a unique sound! that is such a great sounding diesel engine , with no “ball bearings in a coffee can”
sound. is that 645 cu-in per cylinder? and is that a V12 engine?it is so crazy how much emissions controls
are on the new engines ! you just wonder how the manufacturing is able to meet the gov standards and
still have a functional engine. nice to see you, hope all is well! stay safe, keep up the great videos!
It's a 166 cylinder Barry. Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Dave, you should do a start up video of the SD40-2 and SD38-2
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm not very often around when they do
start them up but will certainly keep my eyes peeled and do what I
can.
Thanks for your great videos my friend !! HooAH !!

Thanks Dave! that was an awesome sound! Reminded me of my youth in our tree fort near the train tracks, where we could hear the train working the nearby siding. Awesome memory 😊

Since General Motors owned EMC, later EMD from around 1930 until early 2005 and, that locomotive was built in 1978, I'd be tempted to call the sounds it makes the ULTIMATE in Chevy Thunder!
Sounds like a good name for it Mike! :-) Appreciate your taking the time to visit with us and check out the video my friend.
Its fun watching your video's Dave, and learning the different things that go into the running of a railroad.
